Exposure. Have seen hives which were exposed all last winter
without bottom boards, (suspended), without covers of any kind, healthy
but not very strong. 
[illegible] Bees. Try to get some of these from Brazil, larger than the
common bee, may be able to work on the white clover. 
See E u. comb frames. Fasten a small string in this staple,
and then (keeping it in a ball) wind it twice over the
projecting end of each frame, and pass it through the staple on the
opposite and further end. Do the same thing on the other ends of the
frames. Paper folded, or strips of wood may now be laid over
the tops of the frames and the honey board secured and all will be
firm.
